Blog 14 Katherinas speach

And place your hands below your husband's foot;

In token  of which duty , if he please,

My hand is ready,  may it do him ease.

I found these lines in Katherine's speech to be most interesting because it shows how she has changed throughout the play. When the play starts out she is completely disobedient, a shrew, and would never do anything to help anyone. Now, in this speech she is saying that she would do anything for her husband and she will put her best hand forward in order to help him. "In token of duty, if witch he please" this is saying that she will always be there to do what her husband wants when he wants it. 

But, in this lengthy speech she did not compare women's mental strength and emotional strength to that of mens. She does this because she knows that Petruchio wants her to talk about how wives should do whatever the husband wants. So, during her speech she does just that but also, subtly gives an opinion that women may not be physically strong but they are mentally strong.
